It is recognized that you have entrusted our firm with non-public personal information and it is important that both access persons and customers are aware of firm policy concerning what may be done with that information.
The firm collects personal information about customers from the following sources:
Information customers provide to complete their financial plan or investment recommendation;
Information customers provide in engagement agreements and other documents completed in connection with the opening and maintenance of an account;
Information customers provide verbally; and
Information received from service providers, such as custodians, about customers’ transactions.
The firm does not disclose non-public personal information about our customers to anyone, except in the following circumstances:
When required to provide services our customers have requested;

To ensure security and confidentiality, the firm maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the privacy of customer information. Within the firm, access to customer information is restricted to personnel that need to know that information. All access persons and service providers understand that everything handled in firm offices is confidential and they are instructed not to discuss customer information with someone else that may request information about an account unless they are specifically authorized in writing by the customer to do so. This includes providing information about a family member.
ACES ADVISORS LLC will provide its customers with its privacy policy on an annual basis and at any time, in advance, if our privacy policy is expected to change.
